The Right is not inherently anti-science. Yes there are some morons out there who glorify in their ignorance, but lets recognize them for who they are, extremist idiots.

First, I'm going to reiterate something: the majority of the human race consists of individuals who are not very smart. This is not meant as an insult, but it's basically the truth. We may not be talking about idiots, but the average person ...
